Police in South San Francisco on Friday cited 67 motorists for failing to wear seatbelts while driving, a police lieutenant said.
Officers of the Police Department's traffic unit issued the citations during a "Click it or Ticket" enforcement effort to implement safety belt and child restraint use laws, Lt. Keith Wall said.
In addition to the 67 tickets for seatbelt violations, police also cited one motorist for driving without a license and another for driving with a suspended license, Wall said.
Three specially trained officers spent the entire day Friday enforcing seatbelt laws, Wall said.
